Being at school is the best place for our kids. It’s where they learn and grow alongside their friends, and where they benefit the most.

The Department of Education’s School attendance campaign highlights the importance of regular school attendance.

The television commercial shows the benefits of attending school regularly. Going to school supports academic success. It also helps build important social skills, relationships and confidence.

What we do know is that every school day counts. Bright futures begin at school, so if your child is well enough to attend school, being in the physical school environment is the best place for them.
